    Descartes states that because of this we must break down everything we know and find a base to our knowledge, an unquestionable principal. He continues on to say that because of this we should not trust anything that has previously deceived us and consider what we hold to be true by this. Descartes says that there are many ways that our senses that provide impressions, as Hume would put it, will deceive us. For example, because man has the ability to dream while a sleep, how is…

    Abortion is a very touchy subject to a lot of people. Sometimes you can't even say the word "abortion" without getting disgusted looks from the people around you or getting a lecture about why it's a good thing. Abortion is not a good thing. Why should an innocent life be taken without even having the ability to defend itself? Why should a living thing be told that it doesn't have feelings or that it doesn't matter? Why should a baby not have the chance to live simply because of the poor choices…

    “Shut up. Go Away. I just want to be happy. I just want to be happy. I just want to be happy. ” I say these things silently as I rock back and forth. I hear my bones creak, and my muscles ache.

Not now. Too much. Too much life...Not enough. Just go away. For a while. Just disappear. For a while.…

    stereotypes that just because your this or that you get all these societal expectations. I love the story of Jackie Robinson: A young man who aspired to be a pro ball player, and through so much persistence and commitment made his dream a reality. And that is just a summary that will never give his real struggle justice. The reason he is such an inspiration for me is because society labeled him constantly telling him he had to be all these things, and at some point he had to say “I'm Not”.…

    coat of arms. The reason why his coat of arms is a great example of revenge for his family is because how it is described. Montressor says in the story “ A huge human foot d’or, in a field of azure; The foot crushes a serpent whose fangs are imbedded in its heel.” It may not sound like it means a lot but it actually says a lot more then you may think. It says just by looking at the picture you hurt me i hurt you back. But how does that relate to family it…

    love. As you read along you will see just a sum of what love can be as a whole. First is “What Love Isn’t” by Yrsa Daley Ward, this is a good poem to start off with, because it states what love is on paper. It says what to practically expect when going into love. The poem states, “It is weight and it is too heavy to feel good sometimes. It is discomfort.” This quote is stating how love can seem weightless, but means so much to the heart. The next quote says, “It is never a slither, never a…

    believe”(III.ii.15-17). Brutus’ ethos is weak because he is just saying he is honorable. Brutus is saying the plebeians should believe him because he is honorable, if someone is honorable does that mean people should believe him? There is no proof that Brutus is honorable and just because Brutus is honorable, Brutus can just kill Caesar. Brutus’ ethos is weak because it does not really convince the plebeian that they should believe him. Brutus is just saying with no proof. Anthony is giving his…
